On the other hand, the GOP money bags that are the real owners of this SCOTUS majority have no real fondness for Trump, and might see ballot disqualification as a painless way to get rid of Trump.

Another issue is that justices almost always don’t want to look like idiots in their rulings, and there’s no way to rule that Trump didn’t lead an insurrection, or that the 14th amendment bars insurrectionists only if they aren’t running for president, without looking like an idiot.

This shit is truly not difficult, despite the legal community making a big deal out of it being a case of first impression.
